#Android os

The US anti-trust courts have begun the process of decreeing that Google or Alphabet must divest itself of the Chrome browser-engine and the Android operating system.

Jokes are beginning to make the rounds on the internet that The Onion ought to buy Chrome, too. And maybe also Android, to boot. ___

did you know that you can install Android on a standard PC

i wouldn't recommend it:

it randomly rebooted several times, even with 4GB of RAM

it's kind of slow on "generic" graphics hardware

mouse input "mostly" works, but clicks are ignored sometimes

...but. well. you can.

(also it swaps red and blue, which is why the firefox logo looks strange here.)

I so love not owning an iPhone cuz I can customize a whole lot of shits in my samsung and notifications fr are giving me hell. it's been years trying to avoid these things, but now I feel so much relaxed bc no pop ups, no app badges, no number of how many notifications on the top bar and no notif icons whatsoever on my lockscreen so everytime I look at my phone - it's just a blank slate

No app telling me I should open a message from my aunt asking me if I don't have a bf now I won't have kids blah blah. No app pinging me nonstop for the sale I can't afford. No app convincing me to check my messages when it's all just from a health group I joined and not really personal matters.

Best part is, I have notifications batching. Basically it will deliver my notifications in a batch at scheduled times. I set it at 8am (so I can check my emails before I work), 12pm (maybe some updates during lunch break), 3pm (checking if someone remembered me at this hour), 6pm (notifications while dinner) and 9pm (last notifications sent before I sleep)

I LOVE ANDROID SO MUCH, DONT STOP JUST KEEP IT LIKE THIS PLS. FOREVERRRRR

Smartphone Fixes: When to DIY or Call The IT Guy - Technology Org

Smartphone Fixes: When to DIY or Call The IT Guy - Technology Org

Cell phone problems can be broken down into three sources: hardware problems, connectivity/service problems, and the one we hate to hear the most: user error. In all three causation situations, there are times when you can fix it yourself and times when you need to call a professional to fix your phone.

How to fix service/connectivity issues

Before you call your service provider, whether it is T-Mobile, Verizon, or one of the many other service providers, do a few things first:

Restart your device. They’ll ask you if you’ve tried that, so might as well do it before you call for help.

Check for outages in your area. How do you do that without a Wi-Fi connection? Open your device. Go to WiFi settings (this location varies by device and operating system) and look for your network. Not connected? Your internet may be down. Contact your provider. 

Did you pay your bill? Fair question. Stuff happens, and sometimes we miss payments or reminders. Make sure your account is up to date before you go into repair mode. 

Last, check your device’s signal strength. If you’re out and about and experiencing problems, it could be from a weak signal. Weak signals happen in rural and hilly areas, inside buildings, and around dead spots. Dead spots can be a little mysterious — some people notice them near airports and military bases, while others seem random.  

How to identify and fix user errors

No judgement here. Sometimes our devices do such strange things that we don’t consider the obvious. These are common forehead-slapping moments that we all experience when it comes to our smartphones not working: 

Did you check to see if you accidentally put your phone in airplane mode? It happens — check that first.

Similar to airplane mode, some phones have a do-not-disturb feature that can be accidentally triggered. Check that before you call for help. 

Is your phone fully charged? Again, sometimes it’s the obvious that slips by us, so it’s worth checking. Also, some phones have settings that, when your power dips below a certain threshold (say, 20%), your device turns off features. Make sure your phone is fully charged and out of low-power mode.

Is there bad weather in your area that would cause outages or lower signal strength?

Common smartphone hardware problems you may be able to DIY fix

Here are seven common smartphone problems that you may be able to troubleshoot on your own:

1. Slow performance

Sluggish smartphone? To fix this, try clearing the cache, deleting unused apps and files, and then restart your device. Make sure your operating system (OS) is up to date. Here’s how to free up space on an Android device. And here’s how to clear the cache, cookies and history from an iPhone.

2. Battery draining quickly

If your smartphone’s battery life is not what it used to be, check for power-hungry apps. Adjusting screen brightness, turning off location services when not needed, and disabling background app refresh can help conserve battery life. Also, consider replacing the battery if the phone is older. There are some camps that would caution against DIY battery replacement for a smartphone, and for good reason. When you open your phone, you might violate your warranty, plus you make your phone and its information vulnerable to theft and security issues. 

3. Overheating

Smartphones may overheat from extensive usage or exposure to sunlight or heat from the sun (left in a vehicle, for example). To fix this, experts recommend not using the phone while it’s charging, reducing screen brightness if it starts to feel warm, and close apps that you aren’t using. Keeping the phone out of direct sunlight and in a cooler environment can also help. Bring your phone inside to cooler temperatures, but avoid the temptation to put it in a freezer or refrigerator; sudden temperature changes aren’t good. That said, you might want to remove the phone’s case while it cools down, as some cases can heat up and hold heat too.

4. Connectivity issues (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular)

If you’re having trouble with connectivity, try turning the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or cellular data off and then on again. Restarting the device can also resolve these issues. If the problem persists, try forgetting the network or unpairing the device and then reconnecting. If this doesn’t work, it’s time to call your cell service provider. 

5. Frozen screen or unresponsive touchscreen

If your phone’s screen is frozen or unresponsive, a simple restart often solves the problem. If the screen is physically damaged, however, it may need to be replaced. Screen replacement is something best left to professionals. 

6. Insufficient smartphone storage

When your phone runs out of storage, start by deleting unused apps, old photos, videos, and files. Using cloud storage for photos and documents can also free up space. If you have an phone with Android OS and an SD card slot, consider adding external storage. If you’ve got an iPhone, you won’t be able to do this. Apple wants you to use their cloud storage services, or buy a device with more built-in storage. 

7. Software glitches and bugs 

Occasionally, smartphones experience software issues. Updating your phone’s OS and apps can resolve many of these glitches. If problems persist, a factory reset might be necessary, but remember to back up your data first.

Remember, while many issues can be fixed at home, some problems may require professional repair, especially if they involve hardware malfunctions.

In all fairness, Android has truly revolutionized the open-source software industry. The constant addition of features with the latest OS versions has meant that Android device management has also evolved during this period. 

Let us deep dive to understand how Android has evolved over the years and how it has gotten better with every new release.
